Norwegian/Swedish entity MØRKGRIM have revealed a first track from their upcoming debut album, entitled "Sǫgur frá Norðfirði", set for release on October 2nd 2026 via Soulseller Records.
You can listen to "Garm" below:
Forged in isolation and rooted in the spirit of the early 90s, MØRKGRIM is Black Metal returned to its source with a blend of raw oldschool aggression and immersive acoustic folk/norse elements.
MØRKGRIM was founded in 1994 by Hrafngrímnir as a one-man Black Metal project during the golden years of the genre. Several songs were written in the early days, but never recorded, as Hrafngrímnir was active in other Black Metal bands at the time.
Decades later, Hrafngrímnir decided to awaken MØRKGRIM, but only if it could be done with the right spirit. He moved to a remote farm, far from modern comfort, where he still lives without ordinary modern utilities such as a flushing toilet or municipal water. There, surrounded by raw nature, silence and isolation, the first MØRKGRIM album was written and recorded. It is a tribute to raw nature, the old gods, ancient Norse magick, and the Old Ways, not as image, but as a way of life.
In 2023, Nils “Dominator” Fjellström joined MØRKGRIM on drums.

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO

MØRKGRIM is a black metal project rooted in the dark and atmospheric traditions of Scandinavian extreme metal. Emerging from the underground with a strong emphasis on cold, haunting soundscapes and grim lyrical themes, MØRKGRIM blends raw aggression with immersive atmosphere, creating music that feels both ancient and deeply unsettling.
The project draws inspiration from classic Norwegian black metal while forging its own identity through melancholic melodies, harsh tremolo-picked riffs, blasting percussion, and tortured vocal expressions. Their sound often evokes desolate Nordic landscapes, spiritual darkness, and existential isolation—hallmarks of the genre’s most evocative works.
Lyrically, MØRKGRIM explores themes such as darkness, death, mysticism, inner struggle, and the primal forces of nature. Rather than relying solely on traditional Satanic imagery, the project channels a broader sense of darkness: emotional, philosophical, and atmospheric.
Musically, MØRKGRIM balances raw old-school black metal intensity with modern production clarity, allowing both brutality and atmosphere to shine. This combination gives the project appeal to listeners who appreciate both the second-wave pioneers like Darkthrone, Burzum, and Emperor, as well as more atmospheric contemporary acts.
With a commitment to authenticity and darkness, MØRKGRIM stands as a compelling entry in the modern black metal underground, carrying forward the spirit of the genre while embracing its own shadowy vision.
